Isa. 52:1 Awake, awake. God turns the cry of his people (51:9) back on them. God has prepared a bright future, to be entered into by faith. put on your strength. That is, live as what God says you are (see Eph. 4:22–24).
Isa. 52:4 went down at the first into Egypt. From the time of Joseph to the time of Moses. Assyrian oppressed them. From c. 733–627 b.c.
Isa. 52:7 Isaiah prompts the people of God to welcome the approach of every messenger of God (see Rom. 10:14–15). the feet of him who brings good news. As 2 Sam. 18:24–27 shows, this refers to someone who announces a great deed, usually a victory. The longed-for message of peace . . . good news of happiness . . . salvation is summed up in one glad cry: Your God reigns. God’s victory over every oppression is now a reality (see Ps. 97:1; Acts 13:30–33; Rev. 19:6).
Isa. 52:10 The power of salvation spreads to the ends of the earth (see 49:6). before the eyes of all the nations. Restoring Jerusalem is a means to this great end.
Isa. 52:13–53:12 The fourth and final Servant Song, frequently quoted in the NT (e.g., Acts 8:30–35; 1 Pet. 2:22–25), describes the Messiah (see note on Isa. 42:1–9). Isaiah finally explains how the Holy One can bless sinful people: all the promises of God will come true for them because the suffering and triumphant servant removes their guilt before God by his sacrifice.
Isa. 52:13 act wisely. Succeed at his task (see esv footnote). In 6:1, high and lifted up describes God. In John 12:38–41, John quotes from both Isaiah 6 and this fourth Servant Song and goes on to say that these two passages show that Isaiah saw Jesus’ glory. This shows both that Jesus is indeed God and that this Servant Song is describing Jesus the Messiah.
Isa. 52:14–15 As the servant was rejected by many, so he will sprinkle many nations to make them clean (see the ministry of sprinkling in Ex. 29:21; Lev. 4:1–21; 14:7; 16:14–19; Heb. 9:13–14, 19–22). that which has not been told them. That is, until revealed uniquely in the gospel.
